To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
183 though William was the Concubine's child, he was 1024-1035 his putative father's truly begotten son. Robert seemed possessed with a morbid determination to cast doubts upon the child whom he declared to be his own. It was entirely within the pleni- tude of his power to legitimate the Mamzer in the same manner as his own father had been legiti- mated, that is to say, by espousing the mother. Take her therefore as your wife, my Lord Duke, would any truth-speaking, sincere friend, have urged u...pon him, take her, and all will be well. The maxim, hceres legitimus est quern nuptice Remonstrant, is fully accepted by Roman and Canon law, and consonant to natural feeling. Marry her, therefore, my Lord Duke ! The retrospective action of your nuptials will, at any time, nay at the last hour, legitimate your dear boy. Marry her, my Lord Duke! and all your troubles will be dispelled. But Robert did not marry her, would not marry her, could not marry her. He could not abide the Tanner's daughter sitting as his equal by his side.
